Installation instructions
Only suitably qualified personnel may install the Fältcom ECII® Flex. Expertise, technical skill
and correct equipment are required to ensure safe and efficient installation.
Mind your own safety when installing Fältcom ECII® Flex. You must never work in
an open lift shaft without a safety harness. Be extremely careful and break current
if you work close to a voltage of 230-400V, e.g. in the lift motor room. Never dis-
connect a cable before you have made sure that it is not live.
Start by selecting a suitable place for the lift phone. Usually you can find an easily accessible
and yet well protected place behind the lift panel. Avoid installing the phone in a corner or be-
hind anything that may reflect the sound. Such installation might lead to acoustic feedback
instability between the loudspeaker and the microphone. You must be able to access the ex-
isting suspension cable and the alarm button in the lift. Also keep in mind that you must be
able to access the back of the lift phone in order to connect cables and program different
functions. Normally this is easier to do on the inside of the lift, before the lift phone is screw-
mounted.
Make sure that you will avoid sawing or drilling through existing cabling when you
make the holes!
5.1 Frame mounting
1.
Mark and pre-drill the holes for the lift phone frame according to the enclosed drill
template. Drill the holes for the cables to the alarm button and telephone connection
according to the drill template.
2.
Fasten the frame first and then the lift phone with the enclosed screws.
Note! Make sure the cables have been connected and the lift phone has been pro-
grammed.
5.2 Mounting behind the car operating panel
This alternative is only possible if there is already
a prepared space for a lift phone behind the but-
ton & display plate. The Fältcom ECII® Flex ver-
sion “COP” is specially designed for this type of
mounting. Since the design of the display may
vary, we are not able to give exact mounting in-
structions here.
Keep in mind that the microphone hole must
be aligned with a hole in the display plate. It
might become necessary to drill a new hole.
For the best sound quality the distance between
the lift phone front plate and the display plate
should not exceed 1 mm
